"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

The vendor I plan to connect to is requesting PGP public Key, what is the extension of this file ? and is that generated from the asc file they sent me.
Why is the vendor sending me a asc file,does this mean that public key was already sent out. sorry , i just took over this from someone who left and i am not sure what he did.
